The F1 driver market is fast-moving and Haas’s recent results – four points scores in seven grands prix in 2024 – have made it a more attractive option than the American squad previously was.

Magnussen has scored just one point this season while Hulkenberg has managed six, and he has failed to get out of Q1 in the last three regular qualifying sessions despite his team-mate reaching Q3 every time.
